Conundrum Red 2021

"There's a romance in darkness, it draws our curiosity and beckons a desire to taste the unknown. This limited release blends dark fruit flavors of blueberry and black berry with opulent notes of coffee and dark chocolate for a rich, yet silky smooth, wine experience." —winemaker

"Medium ruby-red, this wine opens with scents of currants and dried roses, grape pomace and fresh tilled soil. The nose is nuanced with toasty oak imparting a subtle smoked meat character. Flavors of blueberries and blackberries mix with the warmth of vanilla and toasted bread. Silky tannins and striking smoothness. Mouth- watering, lengthy finish trails off with the taste of unsweetened chocolate and cassis." —winemaker

"Situated in New Zealand’s most established wine growing region, the beguiling beauty of our elevated terraced vineyards in the Hawke’s Bay creates an enchanting Pinot Grigio that captures the delicate aromatic flavours of the variety whilst retaining its natural vibrancy and purity. Warm days and cool nights create an extended growing season, the fruit ripens slowly developing flavour intensity and hallmark aromatic characteristics. Its perfumed notes and soft hints of spice introduce a soft, yet delicate style with fresh citrus vitality. A unique cool climate expression of this wonderful varietal. Elegant, crisp and altogether refreshing." —winemaker

"The nose is subtle. The vodka is round in the mouth. The finish is distinctly cool. And this is where the legend of The World's Smoothest Vodka begins. Because Christiana is distilled from the very special Trondelag potatoes, there's a faint sweetness which prompts some to say this is in fact the world's first sipping vodka." -producer
